"Pied Beauty" Ranch:
Your Jenn's anthology includes a map to my little "ranch" (23 acres). You are welcome to come out and check out the burnt-orange and white horse and longhorns, along with Babe, the giant hog, the two dogs, two cats, foxes, racoons, road runners, other birds, etc. It is only a mile from Lake Travis, with a boat launch, camping facilities, etc. This is a great place to expand your journal.
